BrightDrive Transportable (BDI-TxP) represents a major new technology for the motion film and digital post industry. BDI-TxP is a new high speed, high capacity, low cost server and portable drive system. With the ability to hold and offload full-length motion pictures at speeds up to 20 times greater than standard Firewire, the new BDI-TxP system promises to bring major cost savings to digital workflows by dramatically cutting media transfer times.

The new system provides significant advantage over film, tape, and Firewire drives, including the ability to transfer media at realtime 2k, or 300 MB per second. This means, for example, that a 2-hour motion picture can be backed off or uploaded in approximately 2 hours.

In addition to offering fast download speeds, BDI-TxP uses Bright's Data Integrity technology to perform automatic checking and verification of the data set at the final destination to ensure end-to-end integrity. The system also offers technology to minimize time spent 'transporting' data between disparate systems when ingesting and offloading.

Each BDI-TxP chassis holds up to 4 Transportable drive packs each with a maximum 2.5 terabyte capacity, enabling users to ingest or offload up to 2 full-length motion pictures at a time. The system has a compact, high-tech construction with the drives specifically designed to ensure media can be shipped in a safe and secure environment between remote locations.
